[Cats] Seeking guidance on FIP positive 1.4kg kitten undergoing Remdesivir protocol

* Species: Cat

* Age: 2 month

* Sex/Neuter status: not

* Breed: persian

* Body weight: 1.3

* History: Presented on August 23rd, 2026, with severe acute symptoms. Diagnosed as FIP Positive. Currently hospitalized under intensive therapy.

* Clinical signs: Initial presentation included open-mouth breathing, tachycardia, high fever (T: 102.2°F), loose stool, and multiple episodes of frothy white vomit. Mucous membranes were pale pink.

* Duration: 5 days under continuous veterinary supervision.

* my general location: Delhi NCR / Gurugram, India

Current Clinical Status & Treatment:

The patient has been hospitalized since Aug 23. Initial treatment included oxygenation support, IV fluids (RL/DNS), gastroprotectants (Pantoprazole), antiemetics (Metoclopramide), and multivitamins/antibiotics (Eldervit, Betamyal, Desophyllin).

On August 25 and 26, the temperature fluctuated between 99.9°F and 101.5°F. Remdesivir antiviral injections were started and administered on consecutive evenings. The latest daily logs note that breathing, appetite, and stool parameters are showing gradual clinical improvement.

Questions for Veterinarians:

  1. Given her weight of 1.4 kg and a positive FIP diagnosis, is the current clinical response to the Remdesivir injections typical for this stage of treatment?

  2. Are there specific hematological milestones (like tracking LFT, KFT, or CBC trends) that we should closely monitor this week to ensure she is out of the danger zone?

  3. Since financial constraints are making long-term clinical hospitalization difficult, what criteria should she meet before it is clinically safe to transition her to an at-home oral medication protocol?
